Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious medical condition where a blood clot forms in the lungs, blocking blood flow and potentially causing damage to lung tissue.

There are two main types of PE:

• Acute (sudden onset)
• Chronic (long-standing)

Common causes of PE include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a blood clot that forms in the legs, and genetic predisposition.

Symptoms of PE may include:

• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Coughing up blood
• Rapid heartbeat
• Feeling faint

If left untreated, PE can cause serious complications such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and even death.

Treatment options for PE include

• Blood thinners to prevent new clots from forming and to break up existing clots
• Oxygen therapy to increase oxygen levels in the blood

In some cases, surgery to remove the clot
